Smart health | MigraineNet

WINGS ICT Solutions designed and developed MigraineNet aiming to offer a technology that

reduces healthcare delivery cost;

drives a healthier lifestyle adoption; and

realizes new disruptive business models.

Migraine, as a neurological disorder, listed by WHO (World Health Organization) among the 8 most disabling diseases, causing high medical costs, loss of productivity and significant negative societal impacts was selected as the 1st use case that this technology focused on.

MigraineNet is a novel cloud platform, offered to migraineurs as a mobile application, that

calculates the possibilities and predicts when the next migraine incident will occur by analyzing the underlying information models and the user’s daily activities/habits;

predicts and prioritizes the most possible causes that apply in the migraine instance of the user;

3 heterogeneous kinds of information: a) personal information such as the individual’s sex, age, habits and other known medical/environmental/working conditions; b) the user’s daily habits; and c) information from other users with similar characteristics;

FIWARE technologies and enablers for collecting and managing the data;

Dr. M. Vikelis and Dr. M. Dermitzakis, experienced neurologists and members of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Headache Society (http://www.kefalalgia.gr/), acted as health consultants during the design of the system so as to ensure its scientific validity.
